Two men have been locked up for running a county lines drug operation pushing heroin and cocaine across Sussex.
Ibrahim Ali, 20, from Harrow, got five years and three months. Eric Kalauz, 26, from Havering, was sentenced to four years and one month. Both were found guilty of being involved in the supply of Class A drugs.
‘Pokey’ Line Used Texts to Peddle Drugs
The duo ran the notorious “Pokey” line, using bulk text messages and coded promos to push their stash in Brighton, Bognor Regis, and beyond.
“We are pleased that this line has been shut down, and they will both serve significant custodial sentences.”
Police say the sentencing is another big win in fighting mobile “deal lines” flooding Sussex with harmful drugs.
